I have heard some rumours last year during Kim's visit to Moscow about Air Koryo obtaining a couple of Tu-204 or Tu-214 aircraft to replace some of their Tu-154s and Il-62s. Whether this would actually happen or not is not clear, but given the amount of money which North Korea already owes to Russia, I doubt very much that the Russians would go for such a deal. About photos, the ones on airliners.net don't show a true overview of what FNJ looks like. When my buddy in Beijing visits DPRK again in April, he has already told me he will get photos of the aircraft interiors and airports (Mount Chilbo, in addition to FNJ) which I should be able to share.
